A credit score of 680-700 used to be enough to get great loans and mortgage rates, as well as credit cards with low APRs, but since the Financial Crisis of 2008, many lenders have raised their expectations of consumers, making it hard to get good loans and credit extensions with a score under 720-730. To obtain scores of that caliber, one must not only be financially responsible with paying on time, but also cautious in the utilization of credit.

Lately, many Americans have been working toward reducing and eliminating their unnecessary debt and have sought out effective ways to improve their credit score through various strategies. If you’re finding that getting credit cards with low APRs or an auto loan for a reasonable interest rate isn’t happening, you might want to consider looking into improving your credit score. CreditRepair.org’s articles can provide you with the tools and information you need to get motivated and prepared to deal with life’s financial obligations, for free!

According to MyFico.com, nearly 37 percent of Americans are carrying $10,000 or more of non-mortgage-related debt.
